Abstract
World Policy Institute fellow and author Kavitha Rajagopalan investigates the informal water economy of Chennai, a city in southern India. She finds that the government’s failure to dependably distribute clean water has made black-market dealings a necessity.

She puts forward a number of possible plans, including pani panchayats, or citizen-led water councils inspired by institutions in rural India.
